What comes to mind when you hear the word teleportation? I recall in this movie "The Fly" was released in theaters in 1986, the hero is teleported beings, split them into atoms. But his experiment ended quite tragically.
There was also the so-called experiment with the destroyer "Aldridge" or the Philadelphia Experiment.
According to supporters of the abnormal phenomena on October 28, 1943 at the naval base in Philadelphia (USA), a destroyer escort DE-173 "Eldridge" under the influence of powerful electromagnetic fields out of sight with the crew and ... there was 350 km away from this place in Norfolk. A few seconds later the ship reappeared in Philadelphia. Not all the sailors have returned from this "traveling" sound. 13 people died of burns, electric shock, or simply fear.
The US Navy has not officially confirmed the experiment, but the rumors about him are widespread. Extant sailors from "Eldridge" command deny the experiment and consider the statements about him fiction and falsehood.
So, teleportation, only whether it is a word from the sci-fi books and movies of the stories about space adventures where the characters in seconds overcome huge distances via teleport?
While this seems to be something fantastic, but it is only when it comes to subjects.
But there is also a quantum teleportation.
In quantum teleportation does not occur move an object from one place in space to another - as in teleportation in the usual sense of the word. With the help of quantum teleportation teleport, that is instantly moves, not the object itself, and the state of the object. We can teleported state, such as atoms or ions, as well as their individual characteristics.
Physicists at the California Institute of Technology back in 1998 for the first time teleported a photon at a distance of only about one meter. Distances have increased since then, but still it works for the most part, only with photons.
Successful experiments for the quantum teleportation over a distance of eight kilometers in urban areas conducted independently by scientists in China and Canada. According to the newspaper South China Morning Post, before similar experiments were conducted only in the laboratory.
A group of researchers from the University of Science and Technology of China, led by professors Pan Jianwei and Zhang Qian implemented teleportation of photons over a distance of 12.5 km in the city of Hefei (eastern province of Anhui). For this purpose conventional fiber-optic network. And their Canadian counterparts, led by physicist Wolfgang Till, conducted a similar experiment in the city of Calgary (southwestern Alberta) at a distance of 8.2 km.

The results of the present experiments were published in the scientific journal Nature Photonics, details
Although these experiments are still very far from fulfilling the teleportation of live objects, or even inanimate objects, however, quantum teleportation has great prospects. It is carried out through a fiber-optic network, and can bring a new level of security and reliability of internet -compounds.
The results of two independent experiments showed that quantum teleportation is possible over long distances and loss of information, as well as its distortion does not occur.
Thus, we see a major breakthrough in this direction, until recently, which seemed absolutely fantastic.
Some scientists now claim as soon as possible even human teleportation.
Professor Michio Kaku of the City University of New York, convinced that human teleportation technology elsewhere in the world, or even a point in space will be achievable within a few decades, or at least the next century.
"Once we physicists openly laughed at this. We laughed when someone is talking about teleportation and invisibility. But what we do not laugh - we realized that all the time were wrong".
"Quantum teleportation is already there. In fact, we took our film crew, went to the University of Maryland and really filmed atom teleportation. He was moved from one room to the other".
"So at the atomic level, we can do it. This is called quantum interconnectedness. I think that within a decade we will be able to teleport the first molecule. "
Bold statements, is not it?
Michio Kaku says that the next step will be the teleportation of photons on the moon, when in 2020, is expected to once again set foot human leg on its surface.
Anyway, scientific advances in this direction have already given rise to expectations of further surprising results.
The Israelis have been playing with this for some time. At this point we can make protons do all kinds of interesting things and this is also sort of at the heart of quantum computers.
NO, NO, NO - Quantum teleportation cannot move matter - and it never will. It doesn't even technically transport information - it merely transports the "Super-position state" of an entangled system.
SO - let's say that you have two chess pieces - one black and one white. You place them under two cups at random and mix them up so that you don't know which is which.
Now you place them at two opposite ends of the table. You still don't know which is black and which is white. Quantum Transportation lets you switch the contents of each cup - but ONLY if you DON'T LOOK. Once you look under one of the cups, you can't switch them anymore.
With this - you can't send information faster than light, and you sure as hell can't transport matter from one place to another. I'm not saying that wormholes are impossible here - but quantum teleportation has NOTHING to do with moving physical objects between locations.
That no one claimed) Nobody says that quantum teleportation transport matter from one place to another. "In quantum teleportation does not occur move an object from one place in space to another - as in teleportation in the usual sense of the word" - that's what I said)
So Heisenberg has to loose his uncertainty so the protons can be established as mass each time you want to teleport something. He is going to be busy... lol
I was about to comment this very same thing.
When we talk about quantum teleportation, you should not think in terms of the star trek transporter at all - it is a completely different and unrelated concept.
In reality, if you want star trek style transporters, well - the star trek writers had to write in a mysterious magical "heisenberg compensator" device for a reason.
We can't scan a whole object at the atomic level and then reconstruct it perfectly because we can't know where all the atoms are AND their velocity.
Even if we could do it though, there's obvious issues with a device that "transports" people by killing them and creating a copy elsewhere.
I will never try it, I don't want to be ripped apart, then put back together as a clone!
Interesting news!
Reading, watching and learning!
Here's some more weird stuff from a sadly overlooked post :{
Consciousness Beyond Life by Pim Van Lommel, M.D.
Addendum 1 Those Damn Chinese!
Above I mentioned above, there is an Air Force’s contract report entitled “Teleportation Physics Study”. It reports on some very strange stuff. I’d heard about most of it at one time or another, but simply filed it away under “Fringe*ology”. The Study goes through a lot of physics before getting to a review of the weird science, which starts on page 55 and continues for about five pages. Here’s an excerpt concerning the Chinese studies I referenced above:
“Gifted children and young adults” and all this quantum stuff brought back memories of Star Wars and the “Force”. It was like Lucas had some sort of ‘genius insight’ and then made it into SpaceOpera.
P.S. See also Quantum teleportation becomes a reality; photon teleported six kilometres. From Sept 20, 2016.
I liked the post....but your grammar needs work.
Good job overall conveying the idea
Oh, you right. Sorry for that, but english is not my native language. Thank you for the feedback!
